| Application: | Fusidic acid has been used: • as a standard in thin-layer chromatography (TLC)-densitometric method • to study its ability to bind to human serum albumin • as an antibiotic in combination with tannic acid to determine minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Fusidic acid is a tetracyclic triterpenoid with antibiotic activity against Gram-positive bacteria. It is derived from Fusidium coccineum. It shows its activity against anaerobes, corynebacterial, Nocardia, and Neisseria species. Fusidic acid exhibits therapeutic effects against Staphylococcal infections, skin infections. |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Suppresses nitric oxide lysis of pancreatic islet cells. Inhibits protein synthesis in prokaryotes by inhibiting the ribosome-dependent activity of G factor and translocation of peptidyl-tRNA. |
